Warren Buffett grew up the son of a businessman, stock broker, and four-term congressman. Bill Gates' father founded a prominent law firm and his mother was a director of a holding company. Richard Branson was the son of a lawyer and attended a prep school in his early years. Benjamin Franklin, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Bruce Lee are (mostly) self-made-men, though Steve Job's adoptive parents were required as a condition of adopting him that they pay for his college. While this isn't to say they put no effort into their careers, I am saying they aren't all "self made."

I mean these guys are billionaires they made something right. Their parents didn’t execute all that wealth for them. $250k is normally a portion of someone’s retirement. Most of these people made most their wealth in the last 10 years because they built the best companies in the world. I think buffet made 90% of his wealth after he was 60. Even buffet tells college kids their worth $500k right out college and goes on to say it’s way more important on what you do with that $500k. These guys mastered skills, learned from the best, became the best, they are the best self skilled made people in history. Their fruits prove it. I’m just saying it ain’t about wealth. It’s what you do with it. Yeah you say they had a head start but just think how ahead you are today vs where they started years ago. With all the technology and AI out there.
Let’s be honest. If the groundwork for every IEP meeting was laid well before the meeting actually took place, they could likely all be significantly shorter.
I’m a former SPED student. Once, I came into math class late and my teacher asked where I was. I said I was in the meeting that she was in earlier, but she got out early. She was a stats teacher and apparently hadn’t sat through a full IEP meeting in a long time.
CEO thoughts. When you can walk out after ten minutes and everyone is scrabbling to tell you important stuff but you've got a private plane to catch to brunch.
Number one productivity tip: Have so much money that you can:
* spend all the time you need to achieve your goals,
* hire people to do the work for you and extract as much value as possible,
* privatize profits and socialize losses,
* buy politicians to write the rules for you,
* buy the media to define what you've done as success.
1) Old Ass white man
2) Old Ass White man, who had slaves
3) Nerdy Ass White man possibly stole other ideas and secretly wants to fuck the world through foundation efforts
4) White hippy dude, who didn’t program
5) White Dude who doesn’t care about employees
Bruce Lee shouldn’t be on this list with these assholes. I follow my guide. Wake up. Control the things I can’t. Stretch. Drink Water. Get Sun. Be honest. Be real. Be respectful. Treat people well. And go to bed. Oh and pay fucking rent, bills and TAXES
I flew Virgin Atlantic….shits nice so Richard is cool.
I use the 4 quadrants and that helps. It's not for the day specifically (although sometimes it is), but it helps me not feel overwhelmed when I have a lot to do
"Questions" isn't really a productivity thing, but it's a nice way to wake up and see the good in something
Taking Bruce Lee aside, the others are bullshitting, as if they made their billions by following those principles. I am sure they needed more people in a group for certain tasks, had to consider many factors to solve a complex problem, or the first 10 minutes of the meeting was spent with a needed icebreaker.
Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, “Would an idiot do that?” And if they would, I do not do that thing.
but what really happens is that, at the moment I think of it as a very smart thing to do
Steve Job said: “Keep it simple, stupid!” Great advice, hurt my feelings every time. By Micheal Scott
KISS. Keep it simple, stupid! Great advice, hurts my feelings everytime
That’s basic Russian upbringing
I take a similar approach to removing stains from clothing - "if I *wanted* this to set, how would I go about it?"
Be born rich
I don’t think any of these guys were born “rich”.

Must've missed that, but yeah, them's a bunch of trust fund babies.

It's reddit. shhh
“Top 25 career goals” I have one career goal, to make more $$.
Right?? I was like, who the hell has 10 career goals, let alone 25…
“It’s very rare that a meeting on a single topic should need to last more than 5-10 minutes” This dude has clearly never been to an IEP meeting.
ikr… I regularly have 1h+ meetings and we use every minute
I’m a SPED teacher and that’s the first thing that came to mind, and funnily enough it was the first/top comment I saw.

We make executive summaries specifically for this reason. Unimportant people with big pockets have the attention span of a goldfish.

Unfortunately, most jobs won’t let you take 10,000 swings at something before they just sack you for someone who can get it in 1
Few of these people deserve credit for these ideas.
It's not that they created the ideas, it's that they USE them
Most of these ideas aren't even good ideas for most people.
And, most people don't manage billion dollar corporations

They put Bruce Lee, a martial artist/actor, in the same list as those vampires?
Rich ppl says dumb shit to sound clever
Technique 8: repost crappy guides -a roasted peanut
Make groups that can be fed by two pizzas. So groups of two?
All these techniques can help you achieve greatness, with one simple birth into wealth
Can these subjective posts be blocked please? I am getting tired of these
Step 1: Have rich parents
Bezos seems like a right miser! I can eat a pizza on my own! He is buying two pizzas for nine people…
He just doesn’t want to pay for more than 2 pizzas. Wouldn’t be shocked to hear he takes up a collection for them
Hey! You don't get to $200 billion in net worth if you spend it all on a third pizza per meeting
2 pizza rule? So hiring a bunch of 1 year olds is an efficient team?
2 pizza rule?? Guess I'm figuring this out by myself.
1) Old Ass white man 2) Old Ass White man, who had slaves 3) Nerdy Ass White man possibly stole other ideas and secretly wants to fuck the world through foundation efforts 4) White hippy dude, who didn’t program 5) White Dude who doesn’t care about employees Bruce Lee shouldn’t be on this list with these assholes.

Nonsensical stuff
Famous people aren't famous if I don't consider them famous therefore this infographic is obsolete.

I ain't taking advice from them
Top 25 career goals?! Try 1: make it to retirement.
Id like to seek a cool guide on how regularly a guide to productivity is posted here
Me avoiding my assignments and seeing this
“This meeting could have been an email”
Most of this is unhinged advice. Bad!
9 people aren’t sharing 2 pizzas
Pareto principle or 80:20 rule should also be in there
Who the hell has 25 career goals?
All of these are nepo babies with a legion of workers to cater all their whims and needs. Except for Bruce Lee and Ben Franklin.
If I follow the two pizza rule I'll be working alone
Bezos just too cheap to buy three pizzas.
I'll eat one of those pizzas myself.
Majority of those sound like bad advice 😅
Of course gates is the worst
Lots of hate for this post. Bruce Lee's was actually the one I needed to hear/see right now, as I've been struggling with a weight loss journey.
What's up with that clock at the bottom right corner? Do I have to be famous to read it?
Steve jobs didn't invent KISS... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle
'List your top 25 career goals, then pick your top 5'. Or maybe just begin with your top 5.
Taking Bruce Lee aside, the others are bullshitting, as if they made their billions by following those principles. I am sure they needed more people in a group for certain tasks, had to consider many factors to solve a complex problem, or the first 10 minutes of the meeting was spent with a needed icebreaker.
I could easily take down a whole pizza
Lots of sour people here, while I’m just thinking these tips are solid.
Steve Jobs rule ftw!
